I was looking at a Los Angeles Tourism page. For those of you who don’t know, my family plans to visit that area. It seems Disney restored Hollywood’s El Capitan Theater, maybe they can do the same for ours. They run stage shows and movies there like it’s an old picture palace.
Furthermore, fund raising events have been held under the marquis of the theater. Has the theater fallen down? No, it hasn’t. In other words the building can be saved.
I don’t live around Hollywood, but I am planning to visit someone there soon. Is this theater still a twin, or did they return it to single screen during the so called “restoration”?
I wrote trying to get the famous ushers of this theater in the description above. They said I should add it here. Not only did Barbra Streisand usher there, but so did Henry Winkler and Sylvester Stallone. Ben Vereen’s Mother worked there and he danced on the stage.
With modern projection and other things other theaters throughout the country can play the show live, or we can hook up with a theater somewhere else and share the show. I don’t normally consider the costs of my idea, I just throw them out.
Another idea occured to me was a Christmas Show like at Radio City Music Hall except our own. We can make it a multi-media show with video screens beside the stage.
I thought of a great idea to bring to the Kings, and it may be profittable because of its silly nature, and some nostalgia. I call it the “Brooklyn begins with a B Movie Festival”. I bought some schlock “B-Movie” DVDs and it’s looks weird and fun what’s out there. Instead of ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ we can present ‘Teenagers from Outer Space’. Then again, there are some great B-Movies, I saw Joan Crawford in ‘rain’ in there as well as some famous war movies. We pick twelve features and hold it over twelve consecutive days a year with a serial like one from the East Side Kids.
I just thought of another story about this theater. My sister took me to this theater for one of the many times I saw Walt Disney’s the Love Bug. She wanted me to describe the film and tell me what was going on. I did not know at the time I was helping her with a school project. I must have been a annoyance to people in the balcony.
Is this the Egyptian Theater that was built by Sid Graumman, or was that demolished? I plan to visit the LA area and, considering it’s entertainment history, it would be dumb not to visit a picture palace.
I am planning a trip to California. I want to spend time in a original LA Picture Palace. Was the original auditorium divided to multiplex the theater?
Well;
I was figuring that maybe we should contact people that are involved in the entertainment field. Like Dodger Theatricals, they are former Ebbet’s Field Fans that produced such hits as Broadway’s “Titannic the Musical” and others.
Bruce Ratner may be a good idea if he leases the parking lot. However, he may try to change it into a multiplex again. That would be bad if you ask me.
I just figured I would tell a cute story above. They would likely not have stopped the film, but that was my feeling at the time.

Is the Beacon set to close? I heard a rumor.
Is there a way I can find just what’s playing in the original theater when I visit California?
Furthermore, fund raising events have been held under the marquis of the theater. Has the theater fallen down? No, it hasn’t. In other words the building can be saved.
This was not a fund raising event, it was just an idea I had for when the Kings was opened.
Is the Producers still playing there?
Thanks edward 1

I think I shouldn’t have placed the addition on the B-Movie thing guys, sorry.

Maybe I should add also, I am talking about 1940s and 1950s “B-Movies”. The fee would not be as large.
Another idea occured to me was a Christmas Show like at Radio City Music Hall except our own. We can make it a multi-media show with video screens beside the stage.
Maybe I should add that the DVDs had a catalog with them, and that’s how I got the idea.

Is anybody on this page still alive? I haven’t heard from you all in days.
That bagel show was not ours. Ours was located where Sleepy’s is now.
That was a nice balcony, eh saps? I think I may have sat there with my family when we lived in Brooklyn.
